The Royal Navy and Polar Exploration Vol 2: From Franklin to Scott

Coleman follows up his earlier volume, ‘The Royal Navy in Polar Exploration from Frobisher to Ross’, by picking up the story with John Franklin’s 1845 expedition in search of a Northwest Passage and concluding with Robert Scott’s expedition to the South Pole, 1910-12. Within this timespan lie the expeditions of Richardson, James Ross, Rae, Pullen, Forsyth, McClure, Collinson, Austin, McClintock, Belcher, Nares, Scott, Shackleton, and others.
